Song of the Day - April 11, 2006

If you enjoy The Beatles, especially their later years, The Lovetones will not disappoint. With their second release, Meditations, The Lovetones have mastered the psychedelic sounds of the late 60's and early 70's. Their influences include Pink Floyd, Bowie, and obviously The Beatles. "Mantra" starts with an organ drone and a few drum beats, before the vocals kick in. Matt Tow sounds remotely likely John Lennon in this track, the effect is more pronounced in other songs, such as "Inside A Dream." When I played this album for some friends, everyone said it reminded them of the Beatles. Click here to listen.
